You don’t get more original (or stranger) that Flav….

Am I Systematic enough?

“Communicate Jesus” has me really thinking about systems and whether I have been successful in implementing them.

Party Hard

Who says we don’t party hard in Kincumber?

Some people, when they have their BFF over for the night go out for a swanky dinner, others watch movies, or have a couple of drinks. My wife arranges for her BFF to bring her new sewing machine over, so they can both play on their new machines…

Needless to say, I’m hiding in my office for the night.

Still here….

(Pumpkin, Gumnut & I at the Three Sisters.)

It’s just been a hectic couple of weeks.

First day on the job, Jan 1 went well. I then had a public holiday on the Monday, a day of packing, then the big move to Kincumber!

We’re in the house!

Of course, I only enjoyed that for a day or two, before we packed up & headed up to CMS Summer School.
It was a great week, great talks, an awesome time to hear lots of missionaries speak & catch up with friends. I also got to spend time sharing a house with my friends Dan & Harriet.

From then it’s been work, work, work!

But I am LOVING work.

And I am close enough to the beach to drive down with the kids & have a splash before dinner…

It’s like a 10 minute holiday whenever we go.

A couple more pics for the family…

There were a couple of swings behind our house in Blackheath.

Genuine Smile

Other kids want to play with trains, or boxes, my boy likes sinks & taps…

A stitched pic of the Three Sisters & Blue Mountains…

Choices

I’d much rather preach a good sermon tomorrow morning (first day of my new job!!!) than celebrate another tic of the clock at midnight….

We’re worshiping the God who is Lord, even of time!

So there’s only two days to go before I finish up at Wyoming Anglican!

On one side, I’ve been thinking about it a lot. Everything becomes “the last time I’ll get to XXXXX”.

I taught my last school scripture lessons, did my last Christmas assembly talks, I’ve had my last men’s & family Bible studies, my last BBQ at the Caravan park, and tomorrow I have my last morning prayer, before Friday’s last home communion visits & finally my last youth group.

I’ve also had to think about things as I read books sent to me by my new boss (which I love. proactive is awesome in my book!) I’ve been chatting about rosters, going to occasional meetings & downloading gigabytes of stuff about where my new parish has been going & what they have been doing.

Yet at the same time, I think it will still catch me a little by surprise.

Are you ever really ready for when you move house & all those things that are your “everyday” become memories?

Are you ever really ready for the workplace which sees more of your face time than just about anything gets swapped for something unfamiliar?

I’m thankful that I am going to a parish that I am STOKED be be involved with. I’m so blessed that I’m being sent off by a parish that loves me & has cared for me very well.

But I’ll be even happier when it’s all done.

Bring on February, when the novel can start to feel normal…

Meanwhile, I know most of my readers are family & most of you are just reading in the hope of some pictures of the kids, so here they are…

Enough to keep the hounds at bay?
